His name is Phil Robertson (you may know him from Duck Dynasty). Today, we talk about the power of love, justice and mercy, the power of hope, finding confidence in who you are, discovering the true nature of people, and so much more (he even does some bird calling for me with his signature calls).

Life is tough for everyone, some more than others. It’s not a question of whether or not we have or will face adversity but a matter of how we bear it that counts.
